Emilio was a wonderful guide! He customized our tour to fit our personalities and age. Being older we skipped some of the traditional sites and saw more intimate locations and got more of a better sense of life in Sapporo. Walking through the forests and eating the buckwheat treats was so special. Many thanks to Emilio!

We had 1 full day and chose this tour, as it covered a lot of interesting parts of the island. We lucked out getting Jay as our guide, he was wonderful! Jay had a lot of interesting information that he shared with the group and answered all of our questions. We had just the right amount of time to spend in each unique and interesting place. Jay took great photos of my husband and I, so we could both be in the photos. It was hard to pick a favorite spot that we visited. Hell Valley was interesting, Lake Toya is stunning, I loved feeding and watching the bears at the Bear Ranch. Otaru was one of my favorites, we loved the steam clock and music box store. We enjoyed dessert and tea at La Tao. All of Jay's recommendations were spot on, we knew how to make the best use of our time. We also appreciated the food suggestions and would've missed out on the yummy pudding balls if we hadn't been given the heads up. This is an excellent tour, we really enjoyed everything we saw and did, plus having a great guide made all the difference in the world.

Educational, fun, and surprisingly entertaining! The sumo experience was a great mix of culture and humor, and we learned a lot about the traditions behind the sport. The audience participation made it even more enjoyable—getting people involved kept the energy high and added lots of laughs. Definitely a memorable experience and worth doing!
